-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Ever wanted your own dinosaur ? A rare Diplodocus longus perhaps ? Answers to the name `` Misty ? ''

Well , here 's your chance to add some prehistoric chic to your urban warehouse conversion . Forget feature wall , think feature fossil -- and a 17-meter long one , at that . Late Jurassic -LRB- 150 million years ago , or so -RRB- , is the new mid-century vintage , you know .

`` Misty '' is the first complete skeleton of a large dinosaur to come up for sale at auction in Europe , but she hails from the U.S. state of Wyoming .

The dinosaur appears alongside items including Dodo bones , a fossilized Ichthyosaurus -LRB- Ichthyosaurus communis -RRB- from southern England 's Jurassic coast , and taxidermy and antique and modern artworks on a natural history theme in the `` Evolution '' sale at Summers Place Auctions in Billingshurst , southern England .

Author and painter Errol Fuller , who is curating the exhibition and sale , says Misty was found in 2009 by the then 11 and 14-year-old sons of paleontologist Raimund Albersdoerfer .

Dinosaur hunter Albersdoerfer had been excavating the fossil hotspot Dana Quarry in Wyoming , and sent his sons , Benjamin and Jacob , to a nearby area to dig around .

`` He directed them to this area -- just very close to , but not actually in the quarry -- where he thought there might be some very worthless fragments and they came back at the end of the day and said they 'd found an enormous bone , '' Fuller said .

`` They quickly realized that there was going to be many other bones ... so they stopped work on the proper quarry . ''

It took Albersdoerfer 's team nine weeks to dig out the female Diplodocus longus skeleton .

She was named Misty , Fuller said , after the site itself was branded the `` mysterious quarry '' because it had gone from being an area of which not much had been expected to one of great potential .

While restrictions are placed on fossils found on U.S. government land , Fuller said Misty had been discovered on private property .

`` It 's perfectly legal to bring it from America and legal to move it to any country in the world , '' he said . `` Museum workers will sometimes try to stop these things ... but almost every great fossil discovery was made by fossil collectors or dealers . ''

Fuller estimated that there could be about half a dozen Diplodocus longus skeletons -- and several plaster casts of them -- in museums across the globe .

Misty , he said `` looks just like the one in -LSB- London 's -RSB- Natural History Museum -- except that one is a plaster cast . ''

So how would one display a dinosaur skeleton in one 's warehouse , for example ?

Fuller said Misty 's bones had been conserved and consolidated and she would be relatively robust as long as the skeleton was `` reasonably carefully handled and reasonably carefully housed . ''

It would take two or three people about a day to take it down and another to put it up again and Summers Place could arrange supervision of this , Fuller said .

`` It 's been specially designed so that it can be dissembled and assembled again , '' he said . `` There 's no piece so heavy that two people could n't lift it . ''

That said , Misty in her entirety is `` colossal , '' Fuller says . Her bones are secured to a metal armature , which can be taken apart and bolted together again .

Designing it , he said , would have been `` a conceptual puzzle '' because the skeleton could n't be arranged without the armature and it was hard to design the armature without knowing the exact size it needed to be .

The result , Fuller said , is `` a feat of engineering . It 's maybe 60ft long by 12ft high and a colossal weight . There are quite a lot of safety considerations because you do n't want pieces falling off . ''

Summers Place has put an estimate of # 400,000 to # 600,000 -LRB- $ 640,000 to 960,000 -RRB- on Misty .

Fuller musingly compared the fossil to a Ferrari that sold for almost # 18 million -LRB- $ 27 million -RRB- in August .

`` If I was a rich man , I could actually have a fossil dinosaur ... that would impress my friends much more than a Ferrari and it would cost me just a fraction of # 18 million , '' he said .

`` That is really incredibly cheap if you compare it with a collector 's car and you 've got a much more spectacular , gob-smacking exhibition . ''

Talk about overtaking the neighbors .

Evolution will open for viewing on November 23 , ahead of the November 27 auction .
